Actually, this is one of those things that have been nagging at me for
a bit. Gender details aside, what good is an eternity in the company
of 72 virgins? I mean, think about it, if you refrain from the implied
x-rated activities, you're basically surrounded for all eternity by 72
members of the opposite sex, all but guaranteed to engage in
continuous "girly talk" (don't know a word for the male equivalent,
but it must be just as bad if you're a woman), and all you can do
watch and be bored and tempted at the same time. Not much of a reward,
if you ask me. On the other hand, if the x-rated activities do occur,
even 72 of them aren't going to last very long as virgins, given that
you've got all of eternity to work with.
Am I the only one who can't make sense of this?

My sentiments exactly Rob!

I lived in Cameroon for a time, and I was told (on very good authority)
that the best number of wives to have was three.

If you have one wife, you get nagged by her. If you have two, you get
two women nagging you.

But if you have three, there will always be one that will take your
side of a disagreement, and the women will end up arguing among themselves,
leaving you, the husband, in peace.

Now this may hold true for 72 virgins as well, but I would think by then,
the raucousness of disagreement would become too terrible to bear.

Yes, Cameroon had a very male dominated society!
